Depression Glass

Collect the rainbow with our exceptional edit of Depression glass for sale. Highly collectible since the 1960s, Depression-era glass was created in the 1930s around the time of the Great Depression. It was routinely distributed free of charge by companies and businesses in an effort to get patrons to purchase their brands or frequent their businesses. The majority of these free pieces were manufactured in the Ohio River Valley, where a surplus of raw material and water power made them cost-effective to produce. Today, Depression glass is beloved for its pretty details like ruffled edges and numerous colorways. From pink to cobalt to black, Depression glass was produced in virtually every color, adding to its cache as a collectible.
